Why Write

I write because I love words and I have a story
not to please anyone but my own need to tell it.
If for some reason I end up sharing joy
Then it is a pleasure
But if you hate my writing
Don’t worry about it.
I am not writing for you.

I write for many reasons; myself, expression, understanding,
confusion, exploration, reaction, to heal and others, some unknown. The problem is not writing, it’s writing well,
writing in a manner which expresses what you feel, and conveying that so others
may feel; and there lays the struggle. Feedback
is important on many levels as well, as it allows you to gage your work and
feeds the torn soul of this writer.

Writing well is subjective. I find many well written things that leave me cold. But some others not so well written that inspire me for the heart behind it. I am not a scholar, nor do I aim to be one. I take both good and bad feed back with a grain of salt. 🙂

I feel the same way. I never thought of myself as a writer but you have constantly disagreed with me 🙂 Your post reminded me of that quote from sister act “if when you wake up in the morning, all you can think of is writing, then you are a writer”

True; if one wrote for the sake of other’s approval, it would be so lame and uninteresting; I think writers are people who have to write, theirs is a compulsion. The talented ones get read.
